It's a 24 bit volume control dithering may be academic in those cases may actually not be needed in practice . I don't think for example a SB3 or transporter has the horsepower to run a dither algorithm ,so yes I think I actually read years ago that it is undithered . But for example the practical noise level in the analog out of Touch makes it a practical 17-18 bit device or what was it ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
